Amla Dip | Neelikkai Thogayal | Gooseberry-coconut chutney

I'm not a big fan of this amla but would never betray if offered one.I hardly buy this and make any recipe.But last month I bought a small quantity of it to try thayir pachadi with it and totally forgot as last month situation at home was not good one after another got sick and I was deeply depressed by it.At one stage I thought to quit blogging and then realised its the only place to interact with friends and get motived by the comments.It was at this time priya posted a thogayal with amla and I thought it would be the best way to use my untouched amla sitting calmly in the refrigerator.

I actually thought this dip would be tasty as regular one but I was wrong, the tartness of the berry was dominating. When checked for taste it was not comforting then added some tamarind to balance it but then to the tartness was more.So I warn if you people like the tartness then go for it else avoid and eat the berry as such.

Thanks for the mention babitha. But 6 berries and only 3 chilies wouldn't balance the tartness, you should have either reduced the berries or used more chilies. 😀 That is the reason for the tatrtness of the chutney!!

Very interesting blog. A lot of blogs I see these days don't really provide anything that attract others, but I'm most definitely interested in this one. Just thought that I would post and let you know.
